DeSantis signs Florida House map

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a controversial new congressional map into law, a move that could significantly boost Republican prospects in the upcoming midterm elections.

The partisan gerrymander is projected to help the GOP gain up to four additional House seats by redrawing key districts.

The map's approval follows a fast-tracked special legislative session and has drawn sharp condemnation from Democrats and civil rights groups.

Legal experts suggest the map will likely face immediate challenges in court over its impact on minority representation.
